If you want information on professional teeth whitening brands, we encourage you to call and schedule an appointment with our Fremont dentist office. Things are changing all the time with companies releasing new and improved products. Visiting our office allows us to provide you with the latest updates. Still, there are a few things you should know about whitening your teeth before you do so.

The Process

When you whiten your teeth, you can do so using an at-home whitening kit or with laser whitening. We recommend using our in-office treatment since the results can last for up to three years. Regardless of how you whiten your teeth, the solution will typically contain some level of peroxide. The type of peroxide in the solution and its chemical makeup, in general, will influence how effective it is for whitening teeth. Some of the products you buy in the store will only remove the surface stains on your teeth. However, there are certain brands, like Crest White Strips, that deliver positive results and remove deeper stains.

At the same time, when you visit our Fremont office for a professional-grade whitening solution, you can be confident that we will be using the strongest possible solution that will penetrate the enamel and begin the process of oxidization. This is where the molecules inside your teeth begin to reflect less light and appear colorless. Your smile will look bright white as a result, and your teeth will no longer be yellow. Keep in mind that while you can get positive results using both over-the-counter and in-office treatments, your results are more certain when visiting a dentist.

The Application

When comparing professional teeth whitening brands, you should also consider how the solution is applied to the teeth. Some whitening kits have you brush on the solution using a pen, but the results from this are not significant because the solution will not remain on your teeth long enough. Whitening strips are a better option and the results from them can last for around six months. The challenge is that they can still slip out of place and many people find them to be inconvenient. We recommend that you use a kit that uses whitening trays. This way, a solution is placed in the trays for you to then secure around your teeth and wear for thirty minutes or so.

The only challenge with this option is that if you buy a kit from the store, the trays will not be designed for your teeth, but for anyone who buys the products. This creates a risk of leakage or the trays slipping out of place. For this reason, we suggest you use professional teeth whitening brands sold by our office. We will begin by having you come in for an appointment, where we make an impression of your teeth. Using that impression, we will then create customized trays designed to fit you perfectly. As a result, the whitening solution will remain in place, not leak out, and the process will be entirely comfortable. Simultaneously, since the solution is professional-grade, you will see the best possible results.
